It’s an easy thing, to be deceived
Just close your eyes to what’s believed
Accept as truth someone else’s lies
Hold up as proof what you’d once despised
It’s an easy thing to be surprised
When all of your world has been contrived

What you want…what you see
Who you taunt…simple me
Love you fake…love you flee
Time you take…simple me

It’s an awe-full thing to be believed
Just lust the trust of who you’ve deceived
Pervert the truth you once despised
Absorb the love born of all your lies
It’s an easy thing to be surprised
When you believe what you’ve contrived

What you want…what you see
Who you taunt…simple me
Love you fake…love you flee
Time you take…simple me

What’d you find…what’d you see?
What in your mind do you think
That you’ve achieved?

What you want…what you see
Who you taunt…simple me
Love you fake…love you flee
Time you take…simple me

Simplicity carries its own complex beauty
Loving creates its own living duties
Isn’t it wonderful, simple and true
When simply loving is all you can do?

You can read too much into attractions
Just letting them be has its own satisfaction
Isn’t it pure, and clear, and so new
When simply loving is all you can do?

You can lose out giving in to the taking
Feeling the lout moving in for the making
A moment’s remorse in a lifetime’s forsaking
The best future of you
When simply loving is all you should do
Will you be true
When simply loving is all you can do

Complexity comes to your life in its time
No use in your -rushing the arbor to vine
You sure that you want to overpay dues
When simply loving is all you can do?

You can end up with just holding the bag
When life comes to living after the brags
You can’t imagine what you’ll go thru
When simply loving is all you can do

You can lose out giving in to the taking
Feeling the lout moving in for the making
A moment’s remorse in a lifetime’s forsaking
The best future of you
When simply loving is all you should do
Who will be true
When simply loving is all you can do

This chance of a life doesn’t come with undo
When simply loving is all you can do

My girlfriend’s folks were quite a hit
With everyone in the neighborhood
They gave away more fancy things
Than anyone in their right mind should

Well after we got married now
Is when I found out why
I made a discovery without recovery
Well, I almost wanted to cry

I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, What a damn fine sight to see
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, It’s one hell of a family
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, Now what am I gonna do
Outlaws for in-laws, It’s one helluva hullabaloo

See the sergeant he tried hide it for me
And the guys all let it go by
None of ‘em wanted to become the one
And none of ‘em wanted to lie

But when the feds tightened up their net
These bigger fishes were swimming in
Lo and behold, the stories they told
About moonshine, gambling, and sin

I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, What a damn fine sight to see
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, It’s one hell of a family
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, Now what am I gonna do
Outlaws for in-laws, It’s one helluva hullabaloo

Well, the damn done broke it’s wall
With all the secrets spillin’ out
And this aint what the textbooks said
A cop’s life should be all about

Well, they didn’t know, until at the trial
How they’d been neatly set up
When I walked in and testified
They knew, inside, they were out of luck

I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, What a damn fine sight to see
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, It’s one hell of a family
I’ve got outlaws for in-laws, Now what am I gonna do
Outlaws for in-laws, It’s one helluva hullabaloo

He knew the game, changed his play
But you know that players have their way
And the pack attack hyenas bray
Feeding on their own

And he caught a bullet in the name of peace
So business goes, so wars won’t cease
He caught a bullet in the name of peace
And died by the sword…He’d sheath…

It’s all about the choice you make
And their price, so much at stake
You’re either took, or you partake
Just whose blood you wear

And he caught a bullet in the name of peace
So business goes, so wars won’t cease
He caught a bullet in the name of peace
And died by the sword…He’d sheath…

It grinds against their status quo
Divulging things no one should know
There’s no return from where you’d go
System bites when bucked

And he caught a bullet in the name of peace
So business goes, so wars won’t cease
He caught a bullet in the name of peace
And died by the sword…He’d sheath…

And so much was it tragic
Their arrogant bullet’s magic
Was bought in fear of what they’d sold
The specter of war’s Judas’d gold

And he caught a bullet in the name of peace
So business goes, so wars won’t cease
He caught a bullet in the name of peace
And died by the sword…He’d sheath…
And he caught a bullet in the name of peace
So orders go, so secrets keep
He caught a bullet in the name of peace
Our hope, our shock…our grief

Compounding interest, grows of decay
Without rebirth, how can you repay
When it's all that you owe...
All that you know...
Debts of the soul

Dodging the truth, dancing the eyes,
Fleshing out loss, leading with lies,
Sanded, the buried, head denies
Fractions greater than...all the whole
Debts of the soul
Default becomes...the payees role
Debts of the soul

Somewhere in a country, our neighbors go to free
Beside his friends to the end, is where he wants to be
Middle of the street, one bad assed fire fight
He dove to take his buddies bullet, a hero goes home tonight

Well everybody knows…what heroes lives are for
But did ya know that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
When everybody gives, heroes up the score
But did ya know…that heroes live
Heroes live…next door

In the middle of the day, a lonely highway stretch
A simple traffic stop, such a complicated catch
Fleeing a felon takes a shot, and ends another life
In a flash, their family smashed, widow made of wife

Well everybody knows… what heroes lives are for
But did ya know…that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
When everybody gives…heroes give the store
But did ya know…that heroes live
Heroes live…next door

The night was blazing hot, the beast was blazing too
They saw it grow to four alarms, but they knew what to do
A four man team, a fog and stream, a beam burned under floor
A thundering crash, hot cindered ash, only three came out the door

Well everybody knows… what heroes lives are for
But did ya know…that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
When everybody gives…our heroes go before
But did ya know…that heroes live
Heroes live…next door

How oft the unsung neighbor
Shows his love, turning savior
Gives to life his biggest favor
And asked again wouldn’t waiver

Well everybody knows… about their heroes lore
But did ya know that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
When everybody gives…heroes give much more
But did ya know that heroes live
Heroes live…next door

The somber sirens wail, on the cold, bleak Saturday,
Decked out in honor’s blues, they’ve come to proudly pray
Bowed heads of beneficients, and his brothers who would trade
A place with him, and honor him, the choice that he has made

Well everybody knows… what heroes lives are for
But did ya know that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
When everybody gives…heroes have gone before
But did ya know that heroes live
Heroes live…next door

And everybody knows… about our heroes lore
So don’t forget that heroes live,
Heroes live…next door
No, don’t forget what our heroes are for
And that our heroes live next door
